Never said it was the flattest, just statistically flatter than a pancake: http://www.improbable.com/airchives/...i3/kansas.html Some do opine that a marble placed on I-70 at the Colorado border would roll to Kansas City. On that note, during the annual Shrove Tuesday (Fat Tuesday for some of you, or International Pancake Day if you follow IHOP's marketing machine) pancake race between Liberal, KS and Olney, England, Olney won again this year for the third year in a row.


I think Pancake technology has evolved since that study in 2003, Tony. I suspect panckes are now flatter than Kansas. However, we are more out of plumb than a pancake.

Roy, we call that other school "Cow Tech". Or sometimes "Cow Poly".
